If we're really a nation about "Freedom" then it should be legal in all 50 states. I'm not saying churches have to perform gay marriages but at least the civil system should and churches should be allowed to if they want.

Oooh, I seeeeee. You see, I was under the impression that marriage was legally defined as being a union between two men or two women ALSO but that somehow that was not being recognised. Well, this makes all the difference in the WORLD. I mean, you can't just go around ALTERING LAWS!

Wait, didn't they change the law to allow black children and white children to attend the same school? Or when they allowed women to vote? Or allow African-Americans to vote? Or when they made slavery illegal? Or with regards to innumerable other social-rights issues?

Oh, but this is like SO different because everyone knows that if you allow gay people to marry each other EVERYONE will magically become gay. Just like when all those white people became black when African-Americans got the vote even though the white people already had that right.

Is this how it goes? I provide a reasoned (if ever so slightly sarcastic) response with relevant and legitimate examples and you restate the same thing, with poor grammar, that equates to no more than "BECAUSE I SAID SO"?

its not because i said so, i am going by dictionary definitions! by definition gay is both perverted and not seen under marriage! you ma'am if you think otherwise, is the one who is making up your own definitions for words!

you live in a dilusional world, and you people want your dilusional world to be reality! gay is perverted in the real world, though you twisted people are trying your darnedest to change that! gay will never be ok, even when you succeed at making it legal (to marry)!

gay marriage is perverted, do you even know those two definitions? i guess not

Well, seeing as I major in linguistics (I have a feeling you may not know what that is so perhaps you should look it up in your dictionary) and my first language is English, I feel I have a firmer grasp on semantics than most.

"You live in a *delusional world", says the religious conservative. LOL

On a different but related note, did you know that there is a strong correlation between bigotry and low IQ??

Homosexuality is about physical AND romantic attraction regardless of what you might think.

Paedophilic acts are NON-CONSENSUAL. Before puberty children have no sexual appetite and do not understand or like what is being done to them or what they are being made to do. Children are harmed by paedophilia.

Homosexual acts of a sexual nature (yes, there IS a distinction) are, for the most part, CONSENSUAL. (I say 'for the most part' because sexual assault is committed by some homosexual individuals just as it is committed by some heterosexual individuals. It is no different.) Homosexual people who partake in sexual behaviour with other homosexuals are NOT harmed by it.

They are NOT comparable.

Paedophiles are NOT gay and gay people are NOT paedophiles. Neither are they they zoophiles or necrophiliacs. Your inability to comprehend this distinction speaks volumes for your intelligence.

"Gay Marriage" is an oxymoron and I proudly declared my vote with the rest of the majority of North Carolina to make that constitutional law in our state. NC became (I believe) the 35th state to make this constitutional law and the 36th state to provide fetal rights (protecting both the God created institution of marriage and the right to life)!
